Description: Organizations today are increasingly using projects in their daily
activities. Projects and project-management principles frame goal
attainment in academia and many business sectors, and they even
serve as theoretical footing for organizational-change endeavors.
However, the ubiquity of project management does not mean that
project work, project teams, and the ways organizations use
projects are well understood. Moreover, while project-management
theory and practice aim at providing structure and control to
enable successful project completion, an alarmingly high percentage
of projects struggle or fail.
